Adding this for anyone who runs into this problem.
I use SSH mode for emacs (ssh-el) on Windows and it just hangs there without connecting sometimes, usually after a crash.

It's probably not relevant to the issue described here, but if you'd rather run your ssh sessions inside `ansi-term` you might find the `my-ssh` command at http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/18678 useful as an alternative to ssh-el. – phils Jun 16 '16 at 04:10

Open task manager and quit all ssh.exe processes you see.
When emacs crashes on Windows and it's using ssh-el the ssh process keeps running and blocks emacs from connecting. Rebooting would probably also work.
